Precision Irrigation Market by Offering (Solutions, Services), Irrigation Type (Sprinklers Irrigation, Drip Irrigation, Surface Irrigation), End User (Agriculture, Turf & Sport Fields, Residential), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2030

The Precision Irrigation Market is projected to reach $4.2 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 11.7% during the forecast period of 2024 to 2030. The growth of this market is driven by the growing need to improve water efficiency and conservation, the rising implementation of precision irrigation to enhance crop yield and quality, and the increasing government policies and subsidies for low-interest loans to implement precision irrigation systems. However, high initial costs and maintenance due to the hardware, software, and infrastructure restrain the growth of this market. Furthermore, the growing investment in sensor-based systems and automated irrigation controllers is expected to create market growth opportunities. However, the connectivity issue for implementation in rural areas is a major challenge for the players operating in this market. The latest trend in the precision irrigation market is the increasing use of machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Rising Implementation of Precision Irrigation to Enhance Crop Yield and Quality

Precision irrigation delivers a certain amount of water based on specific crop needs and helps to enhance crop yield and quality. By optimizing water usage, precision irrigation helps to minimize waste and promotes efficient resource utilization. With the increasing implementation of precision irrigation, farmers can plan irrigation scheduling by employing sensors and technology to monitor soil moisture levels, weather conditions, and crop health. Precision irrigation helps with the accurate delivery of water supply that supports better nutrient absorption by crops, contributing to improving overall plant health and yield.

Precision irrigation plays a crucial role in the regions facing water scarcity or variable climate conditions. The adoption of precision irrigation in respective regions empowers farmers to adapt to changing circumstances and mitigate the impact of excessive rainfall on crop production. The integration of artificial intelligence and data analytics helps to improve precision irrigation and makes it a key component in sustainable agriculture practice.

Several precision irrigation providers are increasingly manufacturing and providing precision irrigation software and hardware to enable farmers to derive benefits from precision irrigation. For instance, in March 2024, Netafim Limited (Israel), a global leader in precision agriculture solutions, announced the opening of its first manufacturing plant in North Africa to enhance the successful implementation of precision irrigation in Morocco and strengthen the country’s agricultural sector. Such growing implementation and development help to increase the demand for precision irrigation to enhance crop yield and quality during the forecast period.
